I am participating in a garage sale tomorrow at the park in Huntington. I paid $20 for 2 tables and then you can bring in a table. Dad had a bunch of books that either he was given or he bought at garage sales last year and read. Then a friend of mom's gave her some things. And I have some things left over from garage sales that I did not sell on Ebay. Usually we make around $50 after expenses are taken out.
I took the day off today to get ready for it. I stopped by a friends house whose husband had surgery yesterday. I wanted to bring them lunch but they preferred to eat food they had at home. So I stopped by to just check in on him. Had a good talk with them. It was nice.
Sometimes I feel so helpless when it comes to helping. I like to help people. But I can't always come up with the best idea of how to help. That's when I feel helpless. Pretty sad when a person's sense of worth is bound around helping people. Guess I will work on that.

I don't agree that it is unhealthy to tie your worth to helping others. Helping other makes you feel good, that's not bad. But if you tie it to whether they want or accept your help, that can be troublesome because you can't control thier response. You should still feel good for asking, that is following God's ways and pleasing Him. Sometimes the best way to help is just ask if there is anything you can do to help and see what they say.
